The teaching personnel of the School of Biology encompasses more than 100 full professors, 140 associate and assistant professors, more than 700 researchers, who maintain the training process. Students can choose specialization in a number of fields, including fundamental biological disciplines, biotechnological profile and nanoscience. More than 75% of graduates get employed in pure science and education, science-related industries, such as R&D in pharmacology, food technology and agriculture, farming and aquaculture, scientific instruments, information technology, etc. More than a half of graduates choose to continue their scientific work as PhD students in Russia or abroad and eventually receive the doctoral degree. Many alumni of the School of Biology achieved the outstanding results in science, business and in the public sphere. There are prominent scientists, members of a number of scientific academies and societies in Russia, Europe, the USA and other countries, winners of the State Price of the Russian Federation, well-known journalists and writers, successful businessmen. Moscow Beijing Shenzhen 5 Shenzhen MSU-BIT University | School of Biology | Nanobiotechnology Program Why Nanobiotechnology ? What to Study? Nanobiotechnology is a new field at the intersection of biology and nanotechnology. Progress of our knowledge about the molecular mechanisms that underlie life allows specialists to design and create novel bioinspired materials and devices, develop medicines, manipulate living organisms in order to impart to them the desired properties, etc. Those who want to become such specialists should build a strong expertise both in fundamental theory and high-impact know-hows. Our Nanobiotechnology program offers wide education in molecular biology, bioinformatics, biophysical chemistry and related fields as well as practical experience of working with the most modern tools and techniques. The multidisciplinary fashion of the Program lets students to specialize in a particular theoretical or practical area according to their interests, which they further master during work on the thesis under an individual supervision. Career Prospects The Program offers training, which will be appropriate for a successful career in academia, government and the most modern fields of industry, including Research & Development in pharmacology, food technology and agriculture, farming and aquaculture, scientific instruments, information technology, etc. 6 Shenzhen MSU-BIT University | School of Biology | Nanobiotechnology Program Nanobiotechnology Program in MSU Prof. Mikhail P.

It makes MSU brand No. 1 in the higher education in the Post-Soviet Space. 8 Shenzhen MSU-BIT University | School of Biology | Nanobiotechnology Program The principal hallmarks of the education include fundamental and very broad training in the basic biological disciplines, other natural sciences and math, which goes alongside with the hands-on training aiming to development of the modern investigative skills. A key advantage of the educational process is its concentration around the scientific work. Students from the very beginning start working on their own scientific projects under supervision of the academic staff. The tutors do not solely realize the educational program but also curate the scientific projects of students cultivating in them such skills as critical thinking, search and analysis of the scientific information, oral and written presentation of results. 9 Shenzhen MSU-BIT University | School of Biology | Nanobiotechnology Program Choose Shenzhen The city of Shenzhen High-Tech Industry Shenzhen, one of the wealthiest cities of China is an influential place in Shenzhen's most important economic Guangdong Province.
